The Google datacenter in The Dalles are pushing to utilize further water resources from Mount Hood National Forest as they build out the structure for more output.

Now an 'exascale' datacenter is in the works in Boardman, OR for Amazon, 80 miles East of The Dalles Google datacenter - both on the Columbia river.

These don't bring economic outputs to the region, they rely on massive tax cuts, they are massive burdens to the local environment, they promise job growth but only sustain paltry numbers...yet they continue to be built.

Multnomah County data says #homelessness has gone up since Mayor Wilson took office

According to Multnomah County, nearly 3,000 more people are living unsheltered in the county than there were when Wilson took office. The Mayor says that data doesn't match what he's seeing, and that disconnect doesn't help when the city and the county share responsibility for the region's #homeless response. OPB's Alex Zielinski joins us to talk about her latest story.

I'd like to be able to offer official limited time merch by April 20th also if people were to donate funds towards future projects. Stickers, T-shirts. Maybe coffee mugs?

Also thinking about doing short bike check videos on YouTube.
